kJ/ L " STORY
THE LEAD PENCIL
TWO days ago I was a beautiful,
brown pencil, hale and hearty and
of full stature, with my name, “ Writ 3-
easy, No. 6,” printed on my sleek side
in letters of purest gold. I hadn't a
single care in the world, and my heart
was full of love for all human beings
—for was it not to humans that I
owed my lovely shape, my long sturdy
bar of unbroken lead and my soft, firm
wood?
Today I am a miserable abandoned
stump without even a point. My gold
name has been cruelly hacked off, even
to the capital W.
For a woman tried to sharpen me.
If I had been wise I would have strug
gled out of her hands as soon as she
borrowed tier husband’s penknife —
struggled out of her hands and slipped
down a crack to an eternal dark ob
livion that at least would not have
robbed me of my shape.
At the first inch of wood and lead
tHat she hacked off, she said: “Some
thing must be the matter with the
wood."
At the second Inch she said: “Some
thing must be the matter with the
lead.”
At the third inch she said: “Some
thing must be the matter with the
knife.”
At that I fainted from pain and
humiliation, and awoke a scraggy cast
off stump of my former self.
And a confirmed woman hater.

that hie intense love for Virginia
would have caused him to alter the
declaration quoted above.
Patrick Henry was in Virginia
in 173 ti. He was given a good educa
tion Hnd in 1700 lie was admitted to
tiie liar of ids native state. Henry's
ability soon became evident. No other
public speaker of his time could sur
pass him in his hold upon Iris audience
and ids impassioned addresses played
a prominent part in lining up the col
onists against the British. He was
one of the most bitter opponents of
the Stamp Act and it was ids repeated
speeches against it that made its en
forcement practically impossible.
The one declaration best remem
bered of this orator is the famous one:
“I know not what course others may

give me dentil."
Patrick Henry died in 1799. —Wayne

Lore for Dog-Owners
By Albert Payson Terhune
TRICKS FOR THE PUPPY
Old Man Negley Repeated Over and Over, “Lie Down, Lie Down.’’
OI.D MAN NEGLEY had prom
ised Colonel Prouse to come to
the colonel’s Tine street house,
; after work hours, to begin the educa
i tion of ids six-month collie pup.
The colonel had made a false start
! in this education by losing his temper
at the puppy. Thus for tlie first few
| minutes after his own arrival in the
Prouse yard, Old Man Negley content
j ed himself with romping with tiie
youngster and feeding him bits of
cracker from a capacious side pocket.
The little collie was in a gay and
! friendly mood by the time the old man
(s;ill in the same tone as when they
; had been playing), said to him:
“Lie down!”
He accompanied the wofds by a
1 softly steady pressure of His gnarled
I hand on the pup’s loins. Bit by bit,
! under that fi'endly pressure, the pup
i py sank to a sitting posture; Old Man
i Negley continuing to repeat over and
1 over:
“Lie down. Lie down. Lie down."
As the collie seated himself, the
! pressing hand was sliifted to His shoul-
I dors; tiie old man never ceasing to re
peat: “Lie down.”
As at Inst, under this light pressure,
the puppy's forefeet slid forward and
j he lay at full length. Old Man Negley
j praised him extravagantly and noisily;
; petsing him and feeding him more I its
| of sweet cracker.
The collie realized he himself had
! done some highly praiseworthy thing;
I even if he did not yet know what that
tiling was. And, being full of vanity,
he was tremendously plensed with
j himself.
A second and a third and fourth
I time tiie old man repeated the per
i formance of making the dog lie down,
j by pressing alternately Ids loins and
; shoulders and by saying tiie same
j words over and over again; ever re
warding tiie completion of this by
much praise and by fragments of food.
Inside of ten minutes it began to
dawn on tiie clever baby's mind that
tiie act of lying down hud something
1 to do with nil this praise and petting.
Wherefore, in an experimental fash
ion, lie proceeded to lie down at Old
Man Negley's command. The oi<l man
was dramatically loud in ids delight
at so wonderful a performance.
On his next order to lie down, the
puppy eagerly dropped to tiie ground,
i And the praise and the feeding were
repeated.
“That’s nil for todnv," announced
Old Man Negley. “We won’t make
him do It again ; hut we’ll stop while
lie's still proud of himself and while
j It's a stunt and not yet a chore. I'll
J he around tomorrow.”
On the next day the young collie
lay down the second time he was hid
den to, and after a single hand pres
sure. He did tiie same tiling five
times. In intervals of a romp, during
i the next quarter hour.
“He knows It. now, colonel, ’’ re
ported Old Man Negley. "Tell him to
i do It about three times a day for the
next week. By that time It’ll he rooted
in his mind for life.
Tiie following af'ernonn's lesson
was given up to teaching the puppy to
| shake hands.
Tliis was far easier of achievement;
1 since the offering of a friendly paw
ls one of a puppy’s natural gestures.
Sitting In front of the collie. Old
' Man Negley would pick up one fore
paw, repeating “Shake hands. Shake
hands. Shake hands,” throughout tiie
operation; and then giving tiie former
meed of praJse and food.
After the tlilrd attempt, tiie puppy's
attention began to wander. At once
; the old man fumbled in his pocket for
food and gave the collie a stick to
\ race after.
In another few minutes, lie recotn
j menc~l the lesson And, In short time,
j tiie collie was shaking hands to order
| with tiie effusiveness of a politician.
By the end of the fourth lesson the
j dog had not only mastered these flyst
; two tricks, but was going through
iheiu with the conceited delight of a
child was lias learned to pick out a
tune on tiie piano.
Then Old Man Negley tegan ail
over again to teacli Him to lie down,
this time pointing downward with his
finger every time he gave the com
mand. Soon tiie pointed finger sufficed,
without a word being spoken. The
gesture alone was enough to make tiie
collie drop to earth.
Later tills was varied by the point
ing of the finger to various nearby
spots; and tiie pup learned to lie
down in whatsoever place the finger
indicated. In like manner the stretch
ing out of the hand, with no verbal
command, wns tiie only signal needed
to moke him “shake.”
From tfiis, Old Man Negley went on
to one of the simplest nnd yet most
difficult-seeming tricks that can be
taught to non-trick dogs.
Taking between his fingers a bit of
food, lie held it in front of tiie collie’s
nose. Tiie dog stepped forward to
get If.
Old Man Negley drew It slowly
away, moving his hand in a circle so
that tiie pup also followed the food In
a circle.
“Waltz. Waltz. Waltz," hade the
old man throughout the maneuver.
As the circle was completed, he gave
the fragment of food to tiie pursuing
puppy, praising and patting him as
usual. '
Again nnd again tie repeated this
circular gesture, together with the end
less iteration of tiie word, “Waltz.”
Presently the collie grew confused;
nr.d no longer showed tiie same zest
for following tiie food. As before. Old
Man Negley stopped and began to
romp with him. *
But by the next afternoon the dog
was following In a circle a hand that
held no food. Having learned what
was required, he no longer needed the
titbit to lure him on. Tiie moving
hand was enough, though Old Man
Negley always rewarded tiie complet
ing of the circle by praise and a gift
of food.
By tiie tiiird afternoon tiie pace wms
increased, so that the pup now turned
swiftfy, ns on an axis, in following the
fast-circling hand. On tiie fourth day
there was no need to move the hand.
At the command, “\\*altz!” the puppy
spun gayly about in circles.
“I don’t care for trick dogs,” said
Old Man Negley, as the lessons came
to an end. “Some do; but I don't. 1
believe in training a dog to do one or
two such things; to brighten up his
mind. But after that 1 never tench
anything except what Is likely to he
useful to him or to his master, In the
ordinary run of life.
“Colonel, this pup of yours has be
gun to learn. What's more, he’s be
gun to love to learn. He'll be more
eager now for you to teach him than
you II he to do it. And he'll master
any ; impie stunt you want him to.
“Only, Just keep on remembering
flint you can spoil a dog forever bi
losing your head, when you’re educat
ing Him ; and by teaching him to
cringe Instead of to tie happy.
’That isn't mollycoddle talk. If a
dog does wrong, punish him. But
punish him for his own fault; not hs
a vent for your temper. Light pun
ishment has just as good an effect as
iieuvy. A slap on the hip is better
than a kick in the ribs."
